The manager of a fast-food restaurant determines that the average time that her customers wait for service is 3.5 minutes.The manager wants to advertise that anybody who isn't served within a certain number of minutes gets a free hamburger. But she doesn't want to give away free hamburgers to more than 1% of her customers. What number of minutes should the advertisement use

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The advertisement should use 16 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

[tex]f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = \frac{1}{m}[/tex] is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

[tex]P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx[/tex]

Which has the following solution:

[tex]P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

The manager of a fast-food restaurant determines that the average time that her customers wait for service is 3.5 minutes.

This means that [tex]m = 3.5, \mu = \frac{1}{3.5} = 0.2857[/tex]

What number of minutes should the advertisement use?

The values of x for which:

[tex]P(X > x) = 0.01[/tex]

So

[tex]e^{-\mu x} = 0.01[/tex]

[tex]e^{-0.2857x} = 0.01[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-0.2857x}} = \ln{0.01}[/tex]

[tex]-0.2857x = \ln{0.01}[/tex]

[tex]x = -\frac{\ln{0.01}}{0.2857}[/tex]

[tex]x = 16.12[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest number, the advertisement should use 16 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

That little square gives you a hint that it's an 90 degree angle/ acute angle First add 42 and 37 and you will get 79. Next subtract 79 from 90 and you will get 11. (5 or more, raise the score, for or less, let it rest.) 11 equals 10.

Numarical form:

Answer:

  b) rotational symmetry: multiples of 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure does not have a line of symmetry, or a point of symmetry. However, rotating it 1/3 turn (120°) will make it look like itself. Hence, it has rotational symmetry of degree 3. A rotation of any multiple of 120° will map the figure to itself.

The graph of g(x) is a translation of y = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x EndRoot.

On a coordinate plane, a cube root function goes through (negative 6, negative 2), has an inflection point at (4, 0), and goes through (10, 2).

Which equation represents g(x)?

g(x) = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x minus 4 EndRoot
g(x) = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x + 4 EndRoot
g(x) = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x EndRoot + 1.5
g(x) = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x EndRoot minus 1.5

Answers

Answer: g(x) = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x + 2 EndRoot

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that represents g(x) is [tex]g(x)= \sqrt[3]{x - 4}[/tex]

The graph of the function is given as:

[tex]y = \sqrt[3]{x}[/tex]

The above graph passes through the origin.

So, the function can be rewritten as:

[tex]y -0= \sqrt[3]{x - 0}[/tex]

The above function has an inflection point at (0,0).

The translated function is said to have its inflection point at (4,0).

So, the translated function is:

[tex]y -0= \sqrt[3]{x - 4}[/tex]

Subtract 0 from y

[tex]y= \sqrt[3]{x - 4}[/tex]

Express y as a function of x

[tex]g(x)= \sqrt[3]{x - 4}[/tex]

Hence, the equation that represents g(x) is [tex]g(x)= \sqrt[3]{x - 4}[/tex]

An investor decides to offer a business owner a $45,000 loan at simple interest of 3.5%
per year. Find the total amount in dollars, the investor will receive when the loan is
repaid after 7 years.

Answers

Answer:

A = $56025

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

An investor decides to offer a business owner a $45,000 loan at simple interest of 3.5%  per year.

Principal, P = 45,000

Rate of interest, R = 3.5%

We need to find the total amount the investor will receive when the loan is  repaid after 7 years.

The formula for the simple is given by :

[tex]I=\dfrac{PRT}{100}\\\\=\dfrac{45000\times 3.5\times 7}{100}\\\\=\$ 11025[/tex]

We know that,

Amount = Principal + simple interest

So,

A = 45,000 + 11025

A = $56025

So, the required amount is equal to $56025.

Step-by-step explanation:

From a random sample of 16 people in a jail, the number of days remaining in each their sentences was noted. The 16 people have a mean remaining sentence of 645 days with a standard deviation of 31 days. Assume the population of remaining sentences is normally distributed. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean remaining sentence of all people in the jail. Round final answer to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean remaining sentence of all people in the jail is between 628.5 days and 661.5 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 16 - 1 = 15

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 15 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.1315

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.1315\frac{31}{\sqrt{16}} = 16.5[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 645 - 16.5 = 628.5 days

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 645 + 16.5 = 661.5 days

The 95% confidence interval for the mean remaining sentence of all people in the jail is between 628.5 days and 661.5 days.
